Manasota Key is an enchanting barrier island off the coast of Englewood known as the 'Gem of the Sun Coast,' 'the Heart of the Sun Coast,' 'a bit of Heaven on Earth,' 'a place unspoiled by high rises” and 'where the living is easy.' Located on the beautiful Lemon Bay, off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, Englewood is just a short 85 mile trip away from metropolitan Tampa Bay, 90 miles north of Naples, 50 miles north of Fort Myers, and only 35 miles south of Sarasota. There are a variety of shells for collectors. Many not only arrive on the beach intact, surviving the trip to shore, are still inhabited and very much alive. Many shells found on Englewood beaches are the Left Handed Whelks, the Auger shells, Coquina shells and, caught at low tide, the Rough Scallop and the Fighting Conch that are great for chowders. Another common find is the Shark Teeth that usually come ashore after a storm. Some of these shark teeth are over a million years old.

Laid Back Luxury

Former Snowbird Englewood, FL
Review Submitted: August 12, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
I can't say enough about how wonderful this condo is! We've spent 4 months here each year for the last three years, and the only reason we're not going back is we've bought a place of our own and have moved to Florida! (That's an indication of how much you will love this place).

Everything about this condo is perfect - beautiful decor, an abundance of high quality linens, towels, pots & pans, utensils, small kitchen appliances from microwave to waffle maker, books, movies, and games. The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics and then some. And each year, Linda made sure that a six-pack of my husband's favorite beer was waiting in the refrigerator.
In addition to being spacious, the condo is super clean, warm, comfortable and luxurious. We especially love the large screened lanai overlooking the heated swimming pool.
Several fruit trees on the beatifully maintained grounds allowed us to enjoy fresh grapefruit for breakfast and special Florida honeybell tangerines for afternoon snacks, not to mention limes for our evening cocktails that we enjoyed while being awed by the glorious gulf sunsets.
This is truly your best bet on Manasota Key!
Owner's Response: Toni and Bill, thank you for your very kind words....I trust you love your new home here and I'm delighted to have been a part of your moving here full-time....please stay in touch...you know how to find me... Linda

Review Submitted: June 9, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2008
We are from Switzerland and have been to this condo for 3 times! It is just the best vacation place we ever had! Our kids (now 13y and 11y) are talking about "going home" when we plan our trip to condo.!! They have their own room with Play Station and lot's of games.My husband loves to sit out at lemon bay and i just love the whole place ! This year we will stay at another place since we need 4 bedrooms...but we are all just talking about this very special place and the owner, what a wonderful lady she is...we will miss you!!!!! and hope to come back next year...Nicole, David, Robin and Jill
Owner's Response: This family is a favorite guest of mine. They have such a wonderful time here and I love pleasing my guests with a great, well-deserved vacation...they bring me Swiss chocolate and coffee! Oh my! She and I have have formed a special friendship over the last 3 years that I truly treasure. Thanks, guys! I know I'll see you again and I wish you the very best this year too! Stay in touch via email!

Great Fishing!

Snellie Charleston, WV
Review Submitted: May 28, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My wife and I have stayed here several times. Last time we brought our young son. The owners had a port-a-crib , high chair & stoller for us! It was nice not having to pack those! My wife loves the heated pool and our son had his first pool experience! She loves the floats the owner had there plus the owner even gave us a baby float! I caught a beauty of a red snapper off the bay docks, fried it up and got rave reviews from my wife. When the owner says it's fully stocked, that's an understatement! She had oil for frying and all the seasonings I needed -- I didn't have to buy a single thing to fry up that snapper! The pots and pans are even better than we have at home. We also love the flip-flop casual restaurants. Sometimes we bike to the restaurants -- great bike lanes along this lazy 2-lane road. We also love the private beach -- shelling is great. The balcony is one of my favorite features. Its huge and it's a great place to have dinner. The ceiling fans out there make it very comfortable even during the hotter days. On a rainy day, she a great selection of movies for us to enjoy. We'll never stay in hotel or time share again -- trust me!
Owner's Response: This couple is always a pleasure to have. I loved making their most recent trip with a young baby so easy for them. Yes, the fishing is great and red snapper is delicious. Even more so when you catch it yourself! They also told me it was nice having fresh water and a shelf on the docks so they could clean the fish right then and there!

Just like home!

Rylee Plano, TX
Review Submitted: May 28, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
We love this condo and the quiet complex. It's more than we expected! The unit is beautiful and clean with many extras! The owner lives nearby which made the key exchange easy and safe. The pool was awesome and most of the time we were the only ones enjoying it! The private beach was great for evening picnic suppers! We'll be back soon.
Owner's Response: I'm glad they enjoyed their relaxing vacation. Manasota Key is like no other on the west coast. It really is so peacefully quiet. Yes, the private beach is a great place for a romantic picnic while watching the sunset!
